The Heavenly Demon Can't Live Ordinarily - Episode 524
524Conquer Seoul (11)
mayors of each city.
Major figures in Incheon.
The leaders who will create a new Republic of Korea gathered in one place..
Roman Dmitry said that he had been preparing for a situation like this for a long time and had discussed it with the people in Incheon..
“In the future, the Republic of Korea will be renamed the Korean Empire (大韓帝國), and I, Roman Dmitry, will lead this country as its first emperor..”
people were confused.
The Korean Empire!
From the beginning, I mentioned a topic that was difficult to handle..
The moment the Republic of Korea changes its name, the world's leading powers will react hostilely..
Already given justification for violating international law.
If a weak country like the Republic of Korea called itself an empire, there was no telling what the powerful countries would do to protect their position..
Above all.
China did not allow titles for emperors other than their own..
Due to the single fact of changing its name, South Korea had the potential to be considered a public enemy..
‘If it had been the same as the starting point in my previous life, I would have built a foundation step by step. But in this life there is no need for that. Nothing that opposes my ascension to the position of emperor will be able to hinder the future of the Korean Empire..’
revealed his ambition.
The title of President was not enough.
In order to rule the world in the future, it was necessary to rise to a suitable position..
That wasn't all.
Change took place in a passionate way.
“The capital will be moved from Seoul to Incheon, and unlike the central government, Incheon will have a system to govern the entire country and immediately respond to national risk situations such as a catastrophe. And Seoul will be treated as one city from now on, and Koo Cheol-ho of Cheongsan will be the new mayor of Seoul..”
“It's Koo Cheol-ho..”
“I understand the relocation of the capital. Although it is a necessary process to create a new system, I still do not think that leaving the city that was once the capital in the hands of Gu Cheol-ho.”
People's reactions were normal.
Gu Cheol-ho of Cheongsan.
He is a person with no special impact..
When everyone left Incheon, it was the only guild left in Incheon, but the position of mayor of Seoul was too much for Gu Cheol-ho, who was only a C-grade mercenary..
There is currently a lot of infrastructure left in Seoul..
Even if the capital is relocated, Seoul will remain a core city, so a suitable person was needed to take charge..
multiple issues.
I couldn't readily accept it..
Roman Dmitry dominated the crowd as people looked for an explanation..
“I completely understand why you undervalue Koo Cheol-ho. However, Seoul today does not need outstanding talent recognized by everyone. We had a successful revolt, but just a few months ago people said it was impossible to rebel against the central government. The central government rejected Incheon, and all those who were afraid of the central government left Incheon. In such a situation, Cheongsan remained in Incheon. That's their power..”
It's not a fluke.
It may seem like an easy task if you know the outcome, but it was not common for people to be able to make decisions like liquidation..
“They accurately grasped the situation and risked the guild's fate, and their choice back then, which was different from now that the rebellion was successful, was bound to be of high value. Seoul is now in chaos. The lawmakers in charge of each district have all died, and with the capital being relocated, there is a high possibility that they will lose their focus. Therefore, Koo Cheol-ho was judged to be the right person. If Cheongsan wisely judged the situation even when everyone said no, it would make a decision for Seoul without being biased in one direction. What Seoul needs today is not dazzling prosperity but a stable system..”
“…….”
people were silent.
Roman Dmitry says.
It made sense..
Koo Cheol-ho is only the head of a small guild, but he took advice from people like Park Ki-tae and joined Roman Dmitry's line when he was undervalued..
That too was an ability. If we were looking for the right person to quell the chaos in Seoul, we needed someone like Goo Cheol-ho from Cheongsan rather than someone like Min Chan-ki from Heavenly Sword..
agreed.
Roman Dmitry spoke about people accepting the situation..
“This country is facing a period of upheaval. Many countries will keep us in check for breaking international law and even changing the name of our country, and perhaps a war will break out under these circumstances. From now on, we will be under constant attack. But don't be afraid. The reason I ascended to the position of emperor is to create a strong country that is not shaken by external factors. It is not a weak country that is swayed by the influence of powerful countries, but rather a country that must meet our standards. So trust me. In an unreasonable situation, remember the reason you trusted me and bet everything on me..”
It was intense.
Korean Empire.
capital relocation.
Koo Cheol-ho's appointment as mayor.
All issues that were bound to be sensitive were resolved with the presence of Roman Dmitry..
believed in him.
From the moment of the successful rebellion, Roman Dmitry became a god in the hearts of the people..
“Those who threaten the Korean Empire in the future will meet the same tragic end as the central government because of me, Roman Dmitry..”
* * *
that day.
Shocking news was delivered to the people.
The name of the country was changed to the Korean Empire and Roman Dmitry became emperor himself..
Some people looked anxious.
“……The emperor of the Korean Empire. What are we going to do if powerful countries attack us like this?.”
“Can we trust the existence of Roman Dmitry? He brutally punished his opponents to the point of madness, and used expressions such as ‘people’ and ‘emperor’ that are unsuitable for modern society. If he is a vicious dictator, we will suffer even more than the Kim Jong-tae government..”
It was not an unconditional distrust..
It was a reaction from people who could not accept the extraordinary, but the majority of people actually supported Roman Dmitry..
“I trust His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry. At a time when everyone was ignoring the local areas, he didn't just provide lip service, he actually solved all of the local problems. He just lives in a different world than we do. He has tremendous power, so even if he becomes emperor, the great powers will not be able to touch the Korean Empire like before. lets think. Who on earth would antagonize a monster that blew away an S-class monster in one blow??”
“I don't have a negative view of Roman Dmitry's cruelty. He told us clearly. I punish the enemy severely to prevent the possibility of my people being in danger. We are considered ‘my people’, so what are you worried about? In fact, as soon as the civil war ended, he took care of the victims first..”
People.
I believed in Roman Dmitry.
The fact that he did not ignore the people, unlike the central government, was enough reason to trust and follow him..
A catastrophe that was repeated several times.
Never before has the Republic of Korea resolved a problem so peacefully..
A lot of blood was shed in the civil war, but at least there were no cases of cities being destroyed by monsters..
And there were some things people agreed on in common..
“There is no need for benevolent and finite leaders in turbulent times. In times of peace, peace and prosperity may be achieved, but in a situation like now, where countless people are dying around the world every day, a leader like a beast is needed to lead the country strong. Roman Dmitry is a leader fit for chaotic times. No matter what the insecurities are, it's true that he saved this country from the 6th apocalypse..”
new leader.
It still took time to fully accept Roman Dmitry..
but.
people were convinced.
At least, unlike the central government, the idea was that the future under Roman Dmitry would be safe..
The time when the chaos of the great disaster is resolved.
Korea is.
No, the Korean Empire was facing changes like that..
* * *
A life-changing drama.
Koo Cheol-ho was like that..
In the past, the man who ran a small to medium-sized mercenary guild that would have been treated as a simple service company was now in his office where his name plate was displayed..
The mayor of Seoul. It felt like his head was spinning..
Adrenaline was secreted like crazy, and loyalty to Roman Dmitry exploded..
To him like that.
Park Ki-tae asked for new faith..
“Guild leader. No, Mayor of Seoul. I understand that you are happy because you have achieved success, but His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry is a man who has clear rewards and punishments. Anyone can see that this is an unconventional appointment, but what happens if the mayor fails to carry out his duties? With all the criticism directed at His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry, it is only a matter of time before the mayor falls..”
“……So what should we do next??”
“It's a simple problem. We just have to faithfully carry out the duties assigned to us. Seoul will be engulfed in chaos due to the capital relocation, and the mayor was chosen to calm the confusion. Just by resolving the people's conflicts and stabilizing Seoul, His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry will find us useful..”
Park Ki-tae.
He definitely had an excellent ability to judge the situation..
When Roman Dmitry was undervalued, the reason Cheongsan stayed was entirely due to Park Ki-tae's advice..
And Gu Cheol-ho.
I knew my reality.
By listening to the words of people like Park Ki-tae, he summarized what needed to be done in the future..
“Ki-tae. I really want to do well. So, stay by my side and point out if I'm doing something wrong..”
“all right.”
From the next day.
A procession to find Gu Cheol-ho followed..
Entering a period of upheaval, Seoul's guilds were running around trying to secure their future, and of course Seoul Mayor Koo Cheol-ho was the first person to be roasted..
They visited Koo Cheol-ho and proposed various methods..
Some people receive benefits in exchange for providing the guild's power, while others threaten them by showing off the guild's power. Faced with so many people pressuring him, Koo Cheol-ho said firmly:.
“It is not allowed. In the future, Seoul plans to grant benefits mainly to guilds that work hard for the city. If you don't like it, leave Seoul. In the new future spoken of by His Majesty Emperor Roman Dmitry, Gu Cheol-ho will not forgive those who ruin the country with their individual greed..”
big guilds?
It wasn't scary at all.
Compared to Roman Dmitry, who could blow off an enemy's head with a single sword, there was absolutely no reason to be afraid..
No matter how scary it is.
No matter how strong you are.
Would you rather be Roman Dmitry?.
Koo Cheol-ho was like an AI robot..
I followed Roman Dmitry's system perfectly, and because I knew that I was lacking in ability, I listened to those who were excellent in each field, like Park Ki-tae..
He was so happy just to exist in his current position. That's why Roman Dmitry held onto the rope tightly..
Koo Cheol-ho's appointment.
Even back then people said this.
Seoul will go downhill, and Roman Dmitry's management of the country, apart from his military power, is still questionable..
But could people have predicted it??
Roman Dmitry.
Achieved two reigns in two lives.
For him, who ruled over countless people and achieved peace and prosperity, running the country was not an area of doubt..
the near future.
The day will come when people's questions like Koo Cheol-ho's will turn into exclamation points..
* * *
A few days passed.
Although it was a short period of time, the Korean Empire quickly adapted to changes..
Among them, there were three important points:.
first.
Incheon was prosperous.
After Incheon was decided as the capital, large guilds such as Min Chan-gi of the Heavenly Sword wanted to belong to Incheon. Kim Jun-hyuk gladly accepted them..
They used the money they invested to carry out urban development projects, and in particular, they established a defense battalion led by Kang Min-ho and began training Incheon's soldiers in earnest..
That was related to the second point.
Roman Dmitry tells people what's next for him.
“In the future, we will stabilize the local system and form a system to solve problems such as food within the country. Don't be afraid of the presence of monsters. The new central government will spare no effort in providing all support so that the entire Korean Empire can focus on their daily lives. Not only that, 6 months from now. If the Korean Empire is fully established, it will proceed to subjugate North Korea and Jeju Island, which are infested with monsters..”
North Korea and Jeju Island.
It is a land that has fallen to monsters..
So, whenever a great disaster occurred, it always erupted with enormous danger like an active volcano, and Roman Dmitry declared that he would solve the problem with the power of the Korean Empire..
It was an unconventional move. It was a problem that even powerful countries could not carelessly address, but Roman Dmitry had no hesitation in the process of making a decision..
third last.
This was the undisclosed part..
As Roman Dmitry experienced the civil war, he began to look at the existence of China once again..
‘The Jungwon martial arts world where I lived and China are two different worlds. In fact, the Chinese emperor at that time considered the Wulin in the Central Plains to be a thorn in his eyes and even pursued a policy of exterminating the Wulin. In the new world, I recognized the existence of martial arts, but history said that such a world did not exist. People in this world also accept the martial arts of the martial arts as the skills of the masters, not as the skills of this world. However, the person I met named Xiaolong was clearly a martial artist. There is something. If you research them, you might find traces of martial arts..’
Xiaolong's attitude change.
I didn't think it was simply because he sensed defeat..
His eyes looked like he had discovered something, and Roman Dmitry did not miss a single moment..
for that reason.
An intelligence unit was established centered on Park Ki-tae..
Roman Dmitry highly evaluated Park Ki-tae's abilities..
In the future, he decided to assist Gu Cheol-ho and learn about China, including Xiaolong, as an intelligence unit..
In fact, the conquest of North Korea was a sensitive issue also related to China..
The leaders reacted with concern, but Roman Dmitry was not at all worried about China's existence..
If the martial arts tradition still exists in China,.
they won't be able to handle themselves.
When the Jungwon martial arts world was at its peak, wasn't Baek Jung-hyuk the Heavenly Demon the one who ruled the world?.
a period of upheaval.
At a time when things were changing rapidly, news was heard hitting the Korean Empire..
[LA, LA has fallen!]
America was a red point.
Due to the continued attacks of monsters, the huge city of LA was eventually unable to withstand and collapsed..
Korea regained peace.
but not yet.
The global catastrophe is not over.
